Angel Fire East by Terry Brooks
3.0
Hmmmmm.
Overall, I'm going to give this trilogy 4 stars.
This book will get 3.
I found the concept and the world created in Word & Void to be fantastic and imaginative. What a fantastic bridge between our world and the world of Shannara.
That said, I didn't really feel that book 3 added a lot to the trilogy. With the exception of the creative introduction of the gypsy morph, I felt that it fell back into the "big bad" chase pattern of the previous two books. I would have enjoyed an introduction of a new "good" character, or a "bad" character which was a bit more grey.
Similarly, I would have loved to have seen more of a relationship between Ross and Nest. They've known each other for years now, in incredibly emotional situations, and yet they seem to just orbit each other, not really engaging emotionally.
So, all told, Book 1 took my breath away, book 2 was great, and book 3 was good. I'm enjoying the stories Brooks tells and am very excited to read the next chapter.
